Though much benzoic acid gets used as a mordant in calico printing, it also serves to season tobacco, preserve food, make dentifrices, and kill fungus. Furthermore it is a precursor for caprolactam, phenol, and tereph-thalic acid.

Flavonol (16) and morin (20) are used as colorants morin is the dye calico yellow, used in textile dyeing and calico printing. The nature of the mordant needed for dyeing wool affects the color of the product material - mordanting with aluminum, chromium, or tin results in various shades of yellow, while an iron mordant gives an olive-brown color. 

Uses Dyes starting material for the preparation of alizarin, phenanthrene, carbazole, 9,10-anthraquinone, 9,10-dihydroanthracene, and insecticides in calico printing as component of smoke screens scintillation counter crystals organic semiconductor research wood preservative. 

Arsenic sulfide occurs in nature as the mineral realgar. It is used as a pigment in pyrotechnics to produce blue fire in dyeing and calico printing and as a depilatory for hides. 

This salt—the formula of which is K4 Cy9 Fe3—is formed by the abstraction of one equivalent of potassium from two equivalents of the yellow salt. The red salt is used in calico-printing, and both are employed in de laine printing, as well as in dyeing wool the blue from the Ted prussiate being found more durable when fixed by binoxide of tin. 

Uses.—Oxalic acid is employed principally as a discharging agent in certain styles of calico printing, for whitening leather, as for boot tops, and for removing ink and iron-mould from wood and linen. Its acid potassa salt, which serves for the same purpose, is sometimes most reprehcnsibly sold as salt of lemons, a practice whtoh might easily occasion fatal accidents. 

Bichromate of Potassa.—This salt js of groat importance in the arts and manufactures, and especially in calico printing. By a reference to the article on Dyeing, Vol. L, page 643, et eequitur, the reader will ho come acquainted with the variety of purposes to which it is applied in this most useful and beautiful art. The principal manufactories of the bichromate or chrome are at Glasgow. It is obtained from the salt last described by adding a sufficient quantity of acid— usually sulphurio—to impart to the solution a sour... 

This reaction is used, also, to a very small extent in calico-printing. A hyposulphite of alumina is formed in the cold by adding a solution of chloride of aluminium to a sol ution of hyposulphite of soda. The result is a solution of chloride of sodium and hyposulphite of alumina. This Is thickened iu the regular manner, and printed on the fabrio. The piece is then exposed to a temperature of 212° by means of steam, when the salt is decomposed, alumina being deposited on or in the cloth. Tin s alumina so deposited dyes np with madder precisely like the alumina precipitated in the ordinary manner from the acetate. 

Zinc sulfate has been used as a mordant in calico printing for preserving wood and skins for the manufacture of other zinc salts for clarifying glue and in electrodeposition processes. The sulfide is used as a pigment and as a source of other pigments ZnS is used in X-ray and television screens and, with a trace of a radium or mesothorium salt, in luminous dials of watches. The telluride has been used as a photoconducting semiconductor.

The solution is filtered to remove any tarry material which it contains. (The hydroxylaminesulfonic acid may be salted out to yield the Alsace green J or Dioxine N of the trade, a dye which is used to a certain extent in calico printing. Its iron, lake is very fast to light.)...
